RedLine Stealer is a malware that emerged in 2020, discovered in underground forums being sold in different plans, starting from $100 per month. The malware offers many capabilities for device reconnaissance, remote control, and information stealing, including: Since its discovery, attackers have used many different vectors to spread this stealer, including through fake installers and fake game hacking tools. Also, RedLine Stealer was found in compromised devices by the DEV-0537 hacking group (a.k.a.

It’s no secret that hackers are attracted to large and lucrative targets in the vast digital sphere. Oftentimes, the largest targets present the most avenues for attack. And with over 300 million users worldwide, Microsoft 365 is one of those large targets. Over 80% of deployed Microsoft 365 accounts have suffered an email breach and over 70% have suffered an account takeover.

Data is an integral part of any organization and hence it is important to respond to and recover it from any crisis. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for data security and cyber resiliency is evident. Cyber resiliency is the ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber-attacks and data breaches while continuing to operate effectively.

The JFrog Security research team constantly monitors the npm and PyPI ecosystems for malicious packages that may lead to widespread software supply chain attacks. Last month, we shared a widespread npm attack that targeted users of Azure npm packages. Over the past three weeks, our automated scanners have detected several malicious packages in the npm registry, all using the same payload.

In our new threat briefing report, Forescout’s Vedere Labs analyzes an Emotet sample, presents a list of IoCs extracted from the analysis and discusses mitigation. Emotet is the name of both a cybercrime group and a malware loader it distributes. The group is also known as MUMMY SPIDER, while the malware is also known as Geodo or Heodo.

Once a malicious actor has gained initial access to an internal asset, they may attempt to conduct command and control activity.

Over the last few years, the rate of cyberattacks has continued to hit record growth, taking advantage of individuals or businesses with poor cybersecurity practices. These attacks have affected healthcare, government, finance, and major businesses around the world. Of these cyberattacks, ransomware consistently ranks at the top of the most common cyber threats list, with an estimated 623 million incidents worldwide in 2021.

Understanding the threat landscape and how threats behave is the first step CrowdStrike researchers take toward strengthening customer protection. They based the following threat landscape analysis on internal and open source data, which revealed that in 2021 the most commonly encountered macOS malware types were ransomware (43%), backdoors (35%) and trojans (17%). Each category is powered by a different motive: ransomware by money, backdoors by remote access and trojans by data theft. Figure 1.

Tech decision makers surveyed by Pulse admitted last year that nearly 3 out of 4 companies (71%) experienced a ransomware incident and at least 12% of these incidents involved payments. This shows that ransomware attacks are proving to be a lucrative business for malicious cyber actors as they constantly put organizations’ cybersecurity measures to the test in a host of different sectors where different IT architectures are used.
